The 2025 Kia Niro Plug-in Hybrid is a practical compact crossover for drivers who want better mileage without switching over to a full EV. It offers electric range for short trips and gas backup for longer commutes and adventures. Check out why the Niro PHEV is a smart choice for everyday driving.
Performance and Fuel Economy
The Niro PHEV’s powertrain features a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine and an electric motor. This duo puts out a combined 180 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque. With the standard 6-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and front-wheel drive, this crossover feels responsive and handles smoothly on the pavement.
You’ll get 33 miles of electric range, enough for short commutes and errands in town. Once the car has used up its electric-only range, it runs like a regular hybrid, giving you incredible fuel economy. You’ll average 53 miles per gallon, with 53 mpg around town and 54 mpg on the highway. Charging takes a little under three hours when the vehicle is connected to a Level 2 charger.
Interior Space and Comfort
Comfort comes standard in the Kia Niro Plug-in Hybrid. The EX trim comes with combination seats, while the SX Touring upgrades to full leatherette seats for an upscale look. With the standard 10-way power driver’s seat and optional heated steering wheel, the driver can stay comfy on the road. Dual-zone automatic climate control and heated front seats also come standard, while heated rear seats and ventilated front seats are available.
The Niro PHEV offers lots of stretch-out room in both rows, with 41.5 inches of front legroom and 39.8 inches of rear legroom. Cargo volume comes in at 19.4 cubic feet, but you can fold down the rear seats to open up 54.6 cubic feet of space for bulky and long items. The available smart power liftgate opens hands-free for quick, convenient access to the trunk.
Infotainment and Connectivity
A 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system comes standard, offering in-dash navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bluetooth, and SiriusXM. With natural voice recognition, you can control features like media, calls, and navigation with voice commands. Five USB ports, a wireless charger, and a six-speaker stereo are standard, while an eight-speaker Harman Kardon premium audio system is available.
Driver Assistance Technology
The Niro PHEV comes with a forward collision-avoidance assist system to prevent collisions with cars ahead, pedestrians, and cyclists. Both trims also include a lane-keeping assist system with lane departure warning, a blind spot monitor, and smart cruise control. Backing up is a lot easier with the rear parking sensors and rear cross-traffic assist system watching your back.
